"The Good Life" by Three Days Grace


The good life is what I need
Too many people stepping over me
The only thing that's been on my mind
Is the one thing I need before I die

All I want is a little of the good life
All I need is to have a good time, oh, the good life
All I want is a little of the good life
All I need is to have a good time, oh, the good life
The good life

I don't really know who I am
It's time for me to take a stand
I need a change and I need it fast
I know that any day could be the last

All I want is a little of the good life
All I need is to have a good time, oh, the good life
All I want is a little of the good life
All I need is to have a good time, oh, the good life

Hold on, hold on, I always wanted it this way
(I never wanted it this way)
Hold on, hold on, I always wanted it this way
(We didn't ask for it this way)
I always wanted it this way

The good life
All I want is a little of the good life
All I need is to have a good time, oh, the good life
All I want is a little of the good life
All I need is to have a good time, oh, the good life
The good life

1. This song is about a person who is tired of people being more popular than him and having a better life, and the only thing he wants in life is to be one of those popular people and to have a good life. The significance of the titile is just to say that he wants to have a good life.

2a. The meaning of this song is that some people work hard to have a good life and he is one of thoes people. The author is also tired of people, "stepping over me" which means people going stright to the top and now having a good life.

2b. I think that the author is trying to say that there is only one thing he wants in life, and that is to have a good life. I think this because he says that the good life is the, " the one thing I need before I die". This means that there is only one goal he wants to accomplish befe he dies and that is to have just a little of the good life.

3. There are a few ways that make this song poetery. There is just one rhyme sceam that i can see. There is an AABB rhyme sceam in stanza 1 and stanza 3.
